DAY 19
From Newspring Church.
Read 1 Samuel 17:1-37.
David was not an “overnight success.” The unknown shepherd laid the groundwork for his victory against Goliath long before the epic showdown that made him a legend.
Before defeating Goliath, David was tasked with tending sheep (1 Samuel 17:15). Hardly heroic, the assignment was mostly unremarkable.
But David’s responsibilities required him to fend off bear and lion attacks. Read More

DAY 18
From Newspring Church.
Read 1 Peter 1:1-5.
A lot of people today make promises they can’t keep. They write checks they can’t cash. They say they’ll love you forever then leave. But that’s not the case with God. Our God is a promise maker and a promise keeper. God not only writes big checks, he can cash them, too. Read More

DAY 17
From Pastor Rick Warren.
“When you make a promise to God, don’t delay in following through, for God takes no pleasure in fools.” (Ecclesiastes 5:4 NLT)
You already know a lot of things God wants you to do with your life. So why haven’t you done them? God is not obligated to give you step 2 until you’ve already done step 1. Some of you keep saying, “I want to know God’s will for my career/marriage,” and God’s says, “Let’s get to the basics. Are you reading your Bible? Are you in a small group? Are you tithing? Are you talking with me?” You need to start doing what you already know to be the revealed will of God for your life. Read More

I started at Relevant back in November 2010. So much has happened on my journey I can’t share it all, but here are a few of things that have happened because of Relevant: The love I have received made me want more since I walked in the doors. Once I got involved with serving, I felt a part of something special. Read More

DAY 12
I love football. I love watching it, playing it, and talking smack about it. I also love fantasy football. I love winning! Now I don’t mind losing, but I won’t let you enjoy beating me. Read More

DAY 11
My life has changed as a result of going to Relevant. Three years ago, before I started going to church with my mom, I always knew there was a God; I just didn’t know why he died for us. Read More

DAY 9
Let’s be real. When you say yes to Jesus, although he gives you a new life, it is hard to let go of the past. The pain of your childhood. The divorce. The bad decisions. I hear it all the time. “I am unqualified. I am not good enough.” Read More
